Abstract
This chapter introduces an edited collection of papers written by 27 authors concerning the rise of private antitrust enforcement in Europe and its interaction with enforcement by competition authorities. The chapter and the book cover several jurisdictions and provide initial assessments of the European Commission’s proposed Directive on damages actions and its Recommendation on collective redress, each of June 2013. From the time of their publication, these outputs contributed to a European debate and legislative impetus that have produced substantial developments in the field of private antitrust claims in the EU.
